This is my latest pastel, inspired by a photo I took last May while at Monet's garden in Giverny, France. It is 16x20, on an Ampersand grey sanded panel. It is not complete but is coming along nicely. I have so many photos from this fabulous trip. Thanks to Verdis Norton & ASEA, Rob & I were able to spend two weeks in Paris with one night in Giverny. Here we are in Monet's Garden:
Being associated with ASEA is an honor and Rob continues to be supportive, especially after he won this trip at the ASEA 2010 "Launch" convention at the Paris Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. As an artist, being able to explore Paris was a dream come true.
As you can see, I was less thrilled to be at the top of the Eiffel Tower! The view outside was amazing though...
Hard to believe this trip was almost a year ago. It seems like yesterday. I dream of wandering around Paris & Giverny. Of the people, food & landscapes. Travel truly does expand your mind and open your heart.
